Sterling Script Lines - S3: Episode 1
1) Midwife: His name is Dick, after a wish his mother should have lived to see.
2) Betty, about their baby: I want her to come into our home at its best. 3) Lola, about Mr. Hooker's accent: There's something about the way he talks. I could listen to him read the phone book. Peggy: Well, when he gets to "S," I need Howard Sullivan at Lever Brothers. 4) Bert, about his Japanese painting: I picked it for its sensuality, but in some ways it reminds me of our business. Who is the man who imagined her ecstasy? Lane: Who, indeed? 5) Burt Peterson, to John Hooker, after being fired: Drop dead, you limey vulture! 6) John Hooker: You Americans don't know how to handle your emotions. 7) Pete, about his promotion: I should call my mother. Trudy: Oh, Peter. Don't go to the well. There's no water there. 8) Don: My brother-in-law. He never tires of putting his name on other people's things. 9) Don, to Shelly at dinner: I keep going to a lot of places and ending somewhere I've already been. 10) Ken to Pete, about sharing the Head of Accounts position: They want us to hate each other. I refuse to participate in that. |

00:00 Introduction
00:47 Dick Whitman's origin story
05:45 Her name was Lola / She was a secretary. / And while John's accent made her flushed / Peggy looked on in disgust
06:43 "Who was the man who imagined her ecstasy?" "Who, indeed." Is it the sucking up that connects the painting to your business? We have questions, Bert.
13:42 "I wanted to inform you that you're the new Head of Accounts." "Excuse me?" "It seemed like the right thing to do, in spite of your lack of hospitality."
19:12 "I wouldn't be much of an account man if I didn't ask what it pays." "And I wouldn't be much of a financial officer if I wasn't prepared to disappoint you."
21:15 "I've never seen a stewardess that game." Jenna and Steve disagree about Shelly here - Jenna argues it's a departure for Don because Shelly gives no evidence of being complex or challenging, which is usually a requirement for Don's notice and interest.
24:24 "I've always been a big fan of your work, and I've been very vocal about it."
25:27 "I've been married a long time. You get lots of chances."
35:48 The fire alarm brings everything to a "screechin' halt." What does Don Draper do with someone else's secret?
37:50 "Why is she shamelessly flirting with Moneypenny?" "Don't call him that. He hates that." Why can't Joan and Peggy align and give us the glorious girl power duo we envision?
39:42 " 'Our worst fears lie in anticipation.' That's not me - that's Balzac."
42:08 "You're each taking half the company. Of course, it's possible someone could distinguish himself. It would be easier that way."
45:48 Limit your exposure
47:47 This office comes with a complimentary ant farm
48:46 "The buck stops here unless it stops over there. There are two heads of accounts. Kenny Cosgrove and I are sharing it."
55:12 Just kidding - you aren't worthy of the ant farm. It's unseemly.
58:08 What did you bring me, Daddy? Well, I inadvertently brought home a stick pin belonging to the stewardess I slept with last night. Would you like to wear it?

Things We Should Have Said
- The irony of Don Draper criticizing his brother in law for putting his name on other people's things (in William's case, a suitcase) is pretty remarkable
- We didn't talk about Bert Cooper comparing his Japanese painting to their business.
- Did Shelly intentionally plant her stick pin in Don's suitcase? Or did it accidentally end up in his shirt when they rushed to get outside during the fire alarm?
